    Steve Forbes, the flat tax fanatic and former presidential candidate, heads the self-described “flagship publication, Forbes ... the nation's leading business magazine, with a circulation of 850,000. Forbes and Forbes Global together reach a worldwide audience of nearly 5 million readers.” (1), (7)

    Although sometimes portrayed as a moderate Republican, Forbes has supported a number of hardline conservative initiatives, including the Project for the New American Century and Empower America (founded by Jack Kemp, Bill Bennett and Jeane Kirkpatrick). He is also on the board of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, whose mission is “to complete President Reagan's unfinished work and to promote the timeless principles he championed: Individual Liberty, Economic Opportunity, Global Democracy, National Pride.These Four Pillars of Freedom guided the President throughout his years of public service and are at the core of all we do.” (5)

    He is the author most recently of The New Birth of Freedom: Vision for America (Regnery), 1999. (9)
